Make "Save Draft" the predominant button when editting a not-published post

[LucP]

I've had this problem too many times: I'm working on a drafted post and -without really thinking about it- I press the "publish" button. With lots of auto-push plugins that push this post to social-media.

Wouldn't it make more sense from a ux-perspective to have the "Publish" and "Save Draft" buttons change places when the post-status isn't "publish"?

​Good summary of this ticket, shared by @gonzodesign:

I'm working on a user survey to see if this is a problem users bump into a lot...
Will post a polldaddy link here and on Slack tomorrow.

1. Suggestion

I think this is definitely something we can improve. I guess many people running in that problem.

I made a Mockup with a first suggestion. What do you think? --> https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/36583/Publish%20Button.png

We discussed this ticket in design triage today and figured this ticket now has become a little outdated (but still very relevant) by the introduction of Gutenberg, since there won't be any editor changes happening that aren't from Gutenberg.

We do think this part of UI needs improvement in Gutenberg as well, so we suggest continuing the discussion on Github where Gutenberg design tickets are.
